MR. SWEET and I had the most amazing time a few weeks back.We were invited to a real CHUCK WAGON meal.
Our friends were dedicating a COWBOY CHURCH that Sunday and threw the most amazing meal I've ever seen.

This is RUSTY...the cook.Rusty had to have both knees replaced and is wearing braces but let me say...
Those braces sure didn't interfer with his cooking abilities !!

For some reason, everything tastes better when cooked in cast iron. I have a cast iron frying pan that was my moms.
It looks like it was A LOT of fun.
Oh BJ!!! I love chuckwagon cookoffs/and cookouts! They're so much fun, and there is nothing like a hot chuckwagon biscuit! Oh, I'm so jealous. This makes me miss Texas even more!
Ok Girl I'm going to stop coming by here....I can't stand looking at all this great food all the time...awesome post BJ, hey you need to come by and enter in my 1 year anniversary give away girl...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Wow! That looks like so much fun. I've always wanted to go on a ranch and have a chuckwagon supper. Those bicuits look yummy...
I haven't even had coffee yet this morning and looking at your pictures - I'm starved....
What a fun time and wonderful looking food.

What fun, BJ! ... and such delicious looking food, too. I know a good time was had by all.
Eating like this...sounds great and I am sure tasted the same way. Praises go to for your friends for the Cowboy church they are involved with.
Enjoy the week!

Hi there. Thanks so much for the blogby the other day! I think this chuck wagon meal looks amazing. I have or once had a cowboy cookbook with meals that were once cooked the old fashioned way like this. Even had one for coffee cooked in a pot. I tried it and it WAS strong!!!!! What fun this looks like.
Stopping by from SITS--what great pictures! It's put me in the mood for chili!
I want to go to a cookout like that!!!! Oh, BJ, it all looked so authentic and the food did look amazing, I can well imagine how good it tasted. Rusty makes the perfect cowboy:-) Did you have a cowgirl hat on??? hehe I want to get myself a pink one but haven't found the perfect one yet! xoxo
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!! I am going to follow you...love the chuck wagon cookout...amazing!
Oh BJ what a blessing. We cook like this when we camp. I hate sandwiches lol.Brian makes a great cobbler over the fire.I have never been to a Chuck Wagon eating,but it looks like fun,
Fabulous!
I'm going to send a link to this post to my sister, who is married to the cowboy sheriff - she will love your pictures!
What an interesting post. I didn't know there we're still chuck wagons. It looks like a wonderful kind of day. I hope you are having a great week and a terrific Outdoor Wednesday.
What a fun post. God Bless Rusty with his knees. Your photos are amazing and this was such a unique experience for you to share with all of us today. Thank you.

We have friends who have dismantled, numbered and moved antique log cabins to their place in the country.They live in the largest.
He cooks with these old iron dutch ovens outdoors. He did this a couple of years ago and served us in the one room cabin that serves as their guest house. It was so much fun, sitting at the long harvest table in front of a working wood range and having that delicious meal that had been cooked outside, on/in coals.
I know you enjoyed this and I know it tasted so good!
Oh now Bj...this looks like a load of fun. How great that you were able to experience this outdoor meal! Love the photos...
what fun...everything tastes better in a cast iron skillet...and you gotta have pinto beans...
My husband took me camping a few times when we first got married. It wasn't for me at all (I like hotels) except for the food. I can still remember the food cooked over a campfire and would love to have a meal like this one. It looks like so much fun.
Sue
This looks like such a fun day. The food looks delicious, I swear I can smell the ham and beans. And cobbler, is there anything better? I don't think so! Thanks for sharing this, now my mouth is watering lol. Kathy
This post reminded me of my Grandpa(Popo). He was a chuck wagon cook ..they moved cattle from New Mexico to Texas ,,In fact he is the one that taught my mother how to cook. which was over a wood stove and castiron skillets etc...I'm thankful that alot of his cooking has been handed down
What a great idea for a church party! Our church owns 38+ acres that we hope to build on someday. In the meantime it would be perfect for this type of fellowship get together:>) Looks like fun!
Blog hopping today and came across your sweet blog! My husband would love to go to a chuck wagon cookout. He's convinced he was a cowboy in a past life! Love the pics, felt like I was there!
That looks like fun! I would have loved to have been there and tasted that delicious food..and of course enjoyed that Southern hospitality!
How perfect to have a cowboy meal at the dedication of a cowboy church.
I would love to enjoy a meal just like that one. Kudos to Rusty the chef.
Fun photos, and the food looks so YUMMY.
